History

Provenance and Acquisition

Written in Würzburg, Domstift St Kilian, s. ix2/3, by hands belonging to the Hunbert group/

The 12th-cent. ex-libris inscription of the Domstift St Kilian, f. 102v; the entry in list 1000, f. 46r no. 42 could refer to this MS. The pesent codex was originally larger, and is at the beginning and (probably) also at the end defective. If quires are missing at the end, they were already lost in the 12th century when the ex-libris inscription of the Domstift was inserted (see below). The missing opening quires got lost at a later stage, possibly only in England.
